"It's a pity, if it weren't for the barrier of that Holy See Holy Maiden, you alone would have been able to annihilate the entire Imperial Crusade Army!" Raphael said with regret.

Elok on the side asked curiously. "Lord Dean, why haven't I seen you use such a powerful magic before?"

"[The sun shines] is more demanding on the weather, and the effect is good enough only when you use it for the first time." Lynn explained.

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he would have wanted to use it in a more critical place.

After all, although this magic is powerful, it takes a long time to prepare, and there are many drawbacks, such as the fact that the weather must be clear, and the light can be refracted and emitted, and absorbed.

The other party is not stupid, and he will definitely be on guard after suffering a loss.

This time, the laser he fired was bounced back.

It is clear that the Holy See has learned enough and has found a way to deal with laser magic.

Of course, Lynn doesn't think that the other party has the ability to create a mirror that reflects 100% of the light, as long as the intensity of the laser is high enough, even the mirror will be cut in an instant!

"Go tell Raeder and tell them, and head to Mister Territory now!" Lynn stood up and said solemnly.

Although he temporarily repelled the Holy See's attack, he did not rule out the possibility of the other party's pursuit, and he had to rush to reinforcements immediately.

Raphael and the others nodded in unison, in fact, they were also preparing to leave this steel city today, and all the supplies had been prepared in advance!

Due to the need to establish communication base stations and daily patrols, nearly forty percent of the airships have been dispatched to carry out tasks, and their army has only 40 ships, which is not enough to transport tens of thousands of people with them.

After a brief discussion, Lynn quickly made a decision, he and Raphael took an airship, first led a part of the people to the destination, and then Raeder and the two archwizards led the rest of the legion to slowly arrive.

……

The steel city of Wilsel is about one hundred and fifty-nine kilometers in a straight line from the Empire's borderlands, and it takes at least a few days to march normally plus cross mountains and rivers, and it only takes more than an hour to take an airship!

Along the way, a steady stream of information from all over the kingdom was transmitted to the receiving device through electromagnetic communication technology, and then translated.

Raphael couldn't help but sigh at the convenience of this thing, a message from any location could reach the entire kingdom in a matter of minutes!

All the news is actually saying two things.

First, the airships they had placed to patrol the borders of the kingdom and the empire were fine, which meant that the Holy See's crusaders had snuck into their protective circles and had not been able to remove the nails.

This made Lynn breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that in order to build this defense line all over the kingdom and avoid being attacked by people in his hometown, he had put a lot of effort into it, and the patrol trajectory and position of each airship were carefully designed to ensure that they were in a horn with each other, and they needed to communicate with each other every once in a while.

Unless the other party can wipe out a large area of airships in an instant, there will inevitably be news delivered.

The second is that Harrov has retreated with his men to an imperial town that he had captured before, and is holding on for reinforcements.

When the airship landed in the town, a group of wizards were busy reinforcing the city walls, and when they saw Lynn, they bowed respectfully.

"Master Lynn, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise we would probably all die on the battlefield." Sanchez stepped forward, patted Lynn on the shoulder, and said gratefully.

If Lynn hadn't arrived in time, he would have been ready to stay behind, and it would obviously be a lifeless decision.

"Don't be so polite, in the face of the resistance of the Empire and the Holy See, everyone must go all out." Lynn shook his head, they were already at a disadvantage at the high end, and losing any legion would be an unacceptable loss.

Lynn then asked about the casualties of the war.

"It's a lot worse than expected." Sanchez said with a wry smile. "1,200 people were killed and more than 3,700 wounded."

In other words, more than half of the musketeers of 10,000 people were killed or wounded, and not only that, but they also lost a large number of artillery and firearms.

"I think all of these weapons have been seized!" Sanchez said with a solemn expression, this is what worries him the most.

In the wars they had fought since they left the Wizarding Lands, they had won even the most tragic battles to defend the royal capital, so they didn't need to guard against this before.

But now it is different, so many weapons have been captured by the enemy, and the other side is likely to copy them.

"It's okay, I've melted down the artillery and armored vehicles, as for the production method of the basic weapon of the musket, it is impossible to hide it, it is a matter of time before it is cracked by the enemy, we just need to ensure that the replacement of weapons is much faster than the enemy!" Lynn was very open-minded.

He knew very well that simple weapons such as flintlock muskets and airships could be made with a little time, as long as the elite of the Empire and the Holy See were willing to think about it seriously and took some time.

The reason why there is no movement now is simply because the time is too short, and the bishops of the Holy See are focused on feudal superstition one by one, believing that this is a demonic creation.

Of course, such a "technologically advanced device" as the internal combustion engine, without drawings, they can't build it even if they want to break their heads.

As he spoke, Sanchez led the group into a manor.

This is the mansion of a small count of the empire, when they brought people from the kingdom to kill before, the other party directly packed up their belongings and ran away, not a single guard was left, and they took over the entire city without much effort.

But now the manor had become a makeshift command post and a place for the wounded, with many tents set up in the open area, herbalists busy mixing potions, and faintly audible wails of pain.

"I really don't know when the war will end." Jonny, who was following behind the two, looked at the tents and sighed.

"Probably waiting for the day when the Holy See will be completely defeated!" Alok continued wistfully. "We will pull the gods down from the heavens, build wizard spires everywhere on this continent, spread knowledge, weed out ignorance, and spread the glory of magic to the whole land!"

This is the kind of war propaganda that is commonly used by the Parliament, and it has to be said that it is extremely motivating for many young wizards with ambition and enthusiasm still alive.

"There will be a day like this!" Elok said with conviction.

Lynn also nodded and said with a smile. "Maybe soon, if this battle goes well."
